Following a week of rampant speculation, Minister Konrad Mizzi has revealed names and dates associated with his much maligned trust in New Zealand and the shell company held by that trust in Panama.
Dr Mizzi today made documentation on both the trust and the Panamanian shell company available to the press yesterday in the interest of "full transparency", after being pushed by the media and the opposition over the course of this week, a week in which he was also appointed the PL's deputy leader.
Speaking with The Malta Independent this evening, Dr Mizzi also said that early next week he will take the "unprecedented" step of asking the Commissioner for Inland Revenue to audit his financial affairs.
Moreover, documentation made available by Dr Mizzi shows that neither the trust nor the Panamanian company.
Meanwhile, blogger and Malta Independent columnist Daphne Caruana Galizia has just revealed on her blog that the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff Keith Schembri had created a similar trust structure as Dr Mizzi, at the same time. Mrs Caruana Galizia is reporting that, like Dr Mizzi, Mr Schembri also holds a trust in New Zealand which, in turn, holds a company in Panama.
Full story in tomorrow's issue of The Malta Independent on Sunday.
